I wrote last week about my mother in law Tuulikki. I don’t often mention Mr NQN’s father who now wishes to go under the name of Ali Baba after his Middle Eastern travels. Dear Reader, if you thought that I got off quite lightly with a mother in law like Tuulikki, things aren’t necessarily the case with Dear Ali Baba. He’s an unusual man and we don’t tend to see him much. Usually because he is travelling overseas but also because meals out tend to be slightly stressful and bizarre affairs – inappropriate is the word that we tend to use. One time we were having dinner at a favourite Indian restaurant and he asked me about my blog.
“It’s going fine thanks” I told him.
“Yes I’ve seen your blog. Perhaps one day you’ll eventually put something good up on it” he said smiling while I reeled from the sudden swipe that came out of nowhere. There was a sharp intake of breath from the rest of the Elliotts and he continued eating and smiling at me as if he had bestowed kind words.
About twenty minutes later, he jumped up realising that he had to be somewhere else. Before he left, he fished out a rolled up of coloured cardboard from one of his many bags.
“I just had to show you something” he said excitedly and proudly unfurled what I guessed to be something akin to a “mood board.” On it he had pasted colourful photos of tranquil country settings and in between these were some rather graphic pictures of naked female body parts. Everyone looked around, I was shocked and looked around, after all we were in an Indian restaurant and it is a modest culture. For his part, Ali Baba looked quite content and proud of his handiwork.
“Right dad, it’s time for you to go” Mr NQN said helping his dad close up his X rated mood board and showing him the way to Manly Ferry.
“How…inappropriate” was all I could muster.
Mr NQN’s father isn’t the only one that has been called inappropriate. Sometimes foods like bacon jam are considered so because they combine ingredients that you don’t often see together. And this bacon ice cream, a creamy frozen offshoot of bacon jam is one of those things. I first tried bacon ice cream at Cowbell 808 and the bacon gave it a wonderfully salty, umami flavour to the sweet ice cream.
I decided to try my own version and added maple syrup and maple caramelised pecans into the mix. After comparing pan fried or baked bacon I discovered that the oven gave a better result. Don’t worry, the egg isn’t of the fried egg variety, it is the egg that is in the custard that makes up the French method ice cream base. The ice cream was a salty, creamy rich ice cream with studded caramelised bacon and pecan pieces that would delight in being called inappropriate. After all that means others won’t eat it which leaves more for you 
I should add that this recipe isn’t for Ali Baba as he is a vegan he won’t be able to eat it. How inappropriate of me
So tell me Dear Reader, do you like bacon with sweet items and would you try this ice cream? And what would have done if faced with your father in law’s xrated mood board? Would you laugh, be shocked or get embarrassed or upset? 
P.S. I was wondering for many years if the proverbial apple didn’t fall far from the tree. I am glad to report that perhaps as a response to the bizarre behaviour, Mr NQN is a very grounded and not bizarre individual…
Bacon & Egg Ice Cream
An Original Recipe by Not Quite Nigella
- 150g/5ozs middle bacon rashers
- 8-10 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup pecans*
- 600ml/20 ozs. cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup caster or superfine sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
1. Firstly, caramelise the bacon and pecans (separately). Preheat oven to 200c/400F and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Measure two tablespoons of maple syrup and brush the bacon with the syrup on both sides. Bake for about 15-20 minutes checking halfway to see whether the tray needs to be turned around. Then toss the pecans in the maple syrup and then bake for about 5-6 minutes-watch these as they can catch and burn due to the sugar content.
As you can see, one rasher got burnt while I was busy in the other room. I still ate it though…
2. Meanwhile, gently heat the cream in a saucepan to a simmering point, do not boil. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a measuring jug or bowl until pale and thick. Gradually pour on the hot cream, stirring continuously. Strain the mixture into a heavy based saucepan and cook over a gentle heat stirring until mixture coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. Once the bacon and pecans are cooked, chop into small pieces. Fold the bacon pieces and vanilla into the custard and add the rest of the maple syrup.
4. If using an ice cream maker follow manufacturer’s instructions. If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour into a container and freeze until set. It freezes fairly hard to ripen it in refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving.

Wow, what a story, Lorraine! I would be definitely shocked for a split of the second before I could even say something.
Bacon and ice-cream? I would probably try it, but no, bacon on the side for me, please…
Simply incredibly sinful! Wow!
Cheers,
Rosa
It’s a real wonder to me that Mr. NQN turned out to be a normally functioning member of society. Lucky for you, I guess!
And I guess as a result of the quirky family you have a never-ending stock of stories, which seem to be quite useful in your line of work…
Bacon and maple syrup is a perfect combination and turning them into ice cream is brilliant! There is no right way to react to your father-in-law showing you x-rated things. I am pretty sure my reaction would be polite whilst desperately checking for exits – embarrassing.
Yummo that is my type of food. Pancakes, maple syrup and bacon is a favorite breakfast for me and now I can have the taste sensation mixed into icecream. Brilliant work.
If you haven’t put anything good on your blog yet there’s no hope for the rest of us. We may as well pack up and find another vocation. I’m completely in the dark – what is a mood board and I take it you don’t necessarily need nude women on it? I have heard of other bloggers enjoying bacon maple ice cream – it’s not something I’ve tried. I’ve never even tried maple bacon. Well…I’d be happy to give this a taste test! xx
Dam this ice cream would make up your breakfast
– it looks ridiculously delicious!
I’m thinking it would be perfect for Mr Ali Baba who seems to be a man of… unique tastes
Cheers

That is really inappropriate but how long has he been living here? my grandparents can be inappropriate too but that’s because they’re so used to the Chinese culture and don’t realise it’s not the thing to do here. The icecream look delicious and I’m always a fan of the sweet and salty combo but probably won’t try it as I don’t like red meat.
I don’t eat bacon but my brother is a bacon fiend and I know he’d love your bacon-maple combo
.
Bacon is amazing with maple syrup, the combination of the sweet and the salty… mmmm. I would love to try this recipe, hubby did give me a weird look when I told him about it though, but then again, he doesn’t cover his bacon with maple syrup when we have pancakes for breakfast so I shouldn’t be surprised. Not to worry though, that will mean more for me… mwahahahahaha!! And yes, I would have been highly embarrassed by the mood board.
This looks way too good to be true. I have the day off today… I think I just found something to do! Thanks
Omg how embarrassing you would need to pick tables in darkened ornery when Ali barber comes for a meal !
Have to try this! My brother is obsessed with bacon and having lived in Canada for six months, I love maple syrup!
I’m up for anything, well perhaps not the mood board:) xo
interesting father-in-law you have there! this ice-cream looks equally wicked!
Wow, that looks amazing! As for your FIL, he obviously doesn’t live in the real world. If he had really read your blog he wouldn’t have said those things. I feel very offended on your behalf NQN! As for his mood board, well….I would have just fired back, “when you put something good on there let me know then I’ll have a look”
Oh, what a divine combo! I actually just thought about making bacon ice-cream the other day since those two are my daughter’s favorite food
Love your story too, I cracked up when you said that your husband now wishes to be called Ali Baba!! LOL
Never a dull moment! I would have laughed – I’m very easy-going so not much offends me, but I blush like crazy
The first time I tried bacon with maple syrup was cooking your eggy crumpets, and I’ve never looked back! Will definitely try this ice-cream
I’ve had some inappropriate in-law moments but you’ve made me very happy that no one has ever pulled out naked photos in a public setting! I’ve had mixed experiences with bacon in sweets. It can go either way for me. It always seems to work with dark chocolate. I would definitely give this a try!
Oh, well that explains it, poor Ali Baba is obviously suffering from lack of protein, and that’s what makes him so bizarre. It must be a vegan thing
I’m sure a bif serve of this Oh-so-incredibly-amazing-delicious ice cream would set him straight Lorraine 
My in-laws are beyond bizarre too: One Christmas lunch the table conversation was on how they each lost their virginity including great grandma; another Christmas the two SIL ‘modelled’ their new boob jobs for all the uncles with sex toys as props; another time the out of control stoned BIL was excused for attacking another because “he only does speed because he’s a mean drunk”…. and it goes on and on and on… Thank goodness they’re my husbands STEP family!!!!!
I want to be politically correct here but I’m kinda/sorta glad Ali isn’t on your blog much. I’m not a vegan, you see.
I’ve never been able to like bacon except with eggs and on a sandwich. It just doesn’t do anything for me with sweets. Maybe I should try it again. I love maple.
What a treat! Thank you for providing us with this recipe so quickly. I’ve never had bacon with anything sweet, so now is the time to start!
I’m not sure if I’d be brave enough to get involved with someone like Mr NQN after seeing his family! But it’s wonderful that you did – you are such a sweet couple.
It’s definitely a different combination but I can see how it would work well with the salty bacon!
Sounds like a rather interesting man. We’re lucky that sometimes the apple falls very very far from the tree. Maybe the odd few are picked up in a whirly wind?
WOW!!! How bizarre!!!!
I am stunned on all accounts :0
So much bizarre behaviour in one night from “Ali Baba” … really Ali Baba…
It is amazing that Mr NQN is completely unscathed :0
I am not really a bizarre foods person, but I am curious… hmm, I kind of think I like my ice-cream a little more “normal”
Oh my, this recipe looks incredible Lorraine! I have a bacon loving friend who will absolutely love it
I can’t believe your father in law said you would finally put up something good on your blog.. I don’t want to say anything rude about him but he is incredibly wrong! You have such an amazing blog and I can’t believe anyone would ever say otherwise!
As for how I’d react to him showing those X rated pics in the restaurant… I think I would just be so shocked and would have no idea what to say!
That story is quite funny when you hear about it and didn’t have to endure the inappropriateness of the situation then and there…
I tried bacon ice cream in the Philippines recently and quite liked it as I am an occasional fan of pancakes with bacon, strawberries and maple syrup. So your recipe is right up my alley.
haha I think there’s a fair few who might disagree with your FIL about your blog. Embarassed for you but thanks for sharing to give us a laugh.
Oh and I’m going to try that ice-cream this weekend:)
The funny thing is, this wouldn’t even be unusual here in the US! But I’d much prefer to try your version
Wow that is quite inappropriate of your father in law to say that to you
I have friends who are like that and they say things without really meaning it but still…it makes me feel kinda bad
but don’t worry you know it’s not true ~ you have AMAZING posts on your blog!
Hahhaa i don’t think it’s weird to have bacon ice-cream but totally find the x-rated mood board to be rather confronting!
Including this one! I saw your post of Cowboy 808 and have been trying to imagine the taste of the bacon ice-cream nowwwww i can try making it myself hehe YAY!
Thanks Lorraine for the recipe!
Oh dear
does he do these things for ‘shock-factor’ Lorraine? At first I’d laugh, be shocked, embarrassed and then hope he would put the mood-board away, like pronto!Funny how his sons know when it’s time for dad to ‘leave’,lol. 
I just love Pancakes, Bacon and Maple Syrup for a lazy Sunday breakfast/brunch, so I can’t see myself not liking this wicked bacon ice cream. You say there is no need for an ice-cream machine, Bonus!
I would take his compliment as a plus because it actually means he’s reading your blog to pass a comment, Non? Or maybe he just wanted a reaction from you or to ruffle your feathers?As the saying goes, it takes all kinds!
What a w (Rhymes with banker). No disrespect to Mr. NQN. I think you handled the situation beautifully L. That inappropriate behaviour should not be tolerated nor should it be fed and I think you did just right. Some idiots love for you to play right into their hands – I can’t stand how they just love to wind up or offend others and then act as if it wouldn’t hurt anyone, it should just be copped on the chin and not worry about it. So long as they’re allowed to make unwarranted, rude and disgraceful comments that noone cares to hear about in the first place. They think they’re the centre of the universe – More like a cesspit of caca really.
I had bacon with pancakes and maple syrup yesterday. Thanku for the recipe. It is very warm here today!
Had to try ghe cowbell 808 one after seeing it here and now I find this. Wonderful stuff. As for Ali Babar, words fail me…
Oh deary! Your FIL sounds…unique! Just like bacon ice cream, hey?
Who would say no to bacon, even if it was in ice cream! This looks sinfully delicious, Lorraine!
Gorgeous photos! I’ve never had bacon ice cream before but have been told many times how lovely it is.
Mmmm, this icecream seems very appropriate to me. Love bacon and maple syrup – especially with fluffy pancakes. Would try this in a heartbeat.
This is like the pandora box of ice-cream all the jewels in one place!!!
I ma loving ur ice-cream container..
Well you are right about your FIL. That is an odd thing to do. But sometimes those things do happen, and you have to roll with it. You also have to keep bacon in your recipes. Why not! We are big fans of bacon jam and candied bacon. It’s great with sweet ingredients.
i can see bacon icecream going wonderfully with hotcakes, grits & other types of southern style breakfasts. Icecream for breakfast………..
scary to look at some of the in-laws that come with a partner – and those that we share with our own partners – we have some sharp tongues and silly heads in our families but thankfully no x rated mood boards – imagine being stuck next to Ali Baba on a plane!!!
the ice cream is fascinating – even though you didn’t use fried egg it would amuse me if it was called egg and bacon ice cream – not my thing but could be vegetarianised
Dear Lorraine,
There’s nothing inappropriate about bacon although I prefer it with other savouries rather than sweet.
There is only one word for this recipe: epic!
I’m seeing this as a Boxing Day dessert, the cream being substituted for my joyless soy junk. Doubtless I’ll make up for it with extra bacon and maple syrup!
Friends and I had an ice cream party last year, and one of the girls made a fantastic candied bacon, toasted pecan, maple syrup and southern comfort ice cream. So good, she let me share it on my blog: http://www.kaveyeats.com/2011/07/ice-cream-wednesday-chloe-candied-bacon.html
Wow! I am not sure about bacon in icecream, but I have been enjoying the salty/sweet combinations lately…I would definitely try it
Lucky you dont see him too often. Maple bacon ice cream could never be inappropriate in comparison. I love bacon and maple and chocolate and salt and ice cream, and……
Hi Marina-Yes I’m often rendered speechles!
Haha okay on the side for you then 
Hi Rosa-Thanks so much Rosa!
Hi anna-I know, me too really!
Lucky and I had to check before we got married 
I know, I never run out of material with them, it’s a matter of getting the material that sometimes freaks me ou 
Hi Theresa-Yes I don’t know what etiquette there is for being shown nude photos by your FIL!
Checking for exits is probably a good tactic when meeting with him! 
Hi Linda-Fabulous! Thank you so much!
Hi Charlie-I guess there was nothing for him although I’ve put up plenty of vegan stuff. I think he was just trying to be
Writing that just gave me the heebeejeebies 
xxx
shocking or mean, I’m not sure. I think a mood board is supposed to represent your current state of mind or things that you want
Hi Uru-Actually it would suit as breakfast!
Hehe yes except he is a sometime vegan 
Hi Ashly-Oh he was born in Australia and has lived here all his life
Oh pork is really white meat 
Hi Laura-Oh cool! I hope he likes it!
Hi Jodie-I agree, I love them together!
Oh I bet he becomes a convert once he tries it 
Although as you say, more for you if he doesn’t! 
Hi Renay-Thank you!
I hope you like it Renay!!
Hi Jenny-Yes, we never really went out after that incident!
Hi thecasualfoodblogger-Oh that’s cool! Let me know what you guys think!!
Hi Jay-hehe I don’t blame you re mood board!
Hi Bronnie-Hehe interesting is another good word!
Hi EJM-Thank you so much lovely! Everyone else that nightwas just trying to say that he didn’t mean it but the words were so clear.I love your reponse! Can we rewind time?!
Hi Yudith -Oh very cool! Oh that’s my father in law, not my husband, they’re two VERY different people!
Hi Chanel-exactly! Every encounter holds much material, it’s jsut whether I’m up to the encounter
Oh cool yes I
remember that! YAY
Hi Jen-Hhee I hope it never happens to anyone else
Ooh yes with dark chocolate-I like that! 
Hi Rebecca-LOL!!
You know there’s a story about him and ice cream that I will have to tell one day 
Wow they do sound like they could give Ali Baba a run for his money! Yes step family is a relief!
Hi Maureen-Hehe well the stories are a bit full on and mostly not able to be published!
Hehe perhaps we can persuade you? 
Hi Margaret-You’re very welcome!:D Absolutely and the bacon isn’t so strong, especially with the pecans!
hehe I checked him out thoroughly before marrying him 
Thank you so much sweetie!! 
Hi Claire-Thank you!
Yes indeed we are! Or they see how a parent acts and go the other way 
Hi Julie-Hehe!
I know, I’m glad though! Haha I promise, it’s really quite normal! 
WOW!!! How bizarre!!!!
Hi Christine-Thank you! I hope they like it!! Thank you darling, you are very kind to say that!! I was rendered very
speechless indeed!
Hi Martyna-Yes it’s best if you are an outsider! Strawberries are an interesting addition!
Hi Angela-Thank you lovely Angela!
I hope you like it-plmk what you think 
Hi Hannah-Hehe yep it’s really right at home in the US
Hi Daisy-He is always ready with a back handed compliment or something to shock really. Thank you sweetie
Yes an x rated mood board is bad enough but especially from your father in law! You’re very welcome Daisy!
Hi Matilda-I think you’re right Matilda, at least that’s what Mr NQn thinks. Hehe they’re much more sensible!
yes no need for an ice cream machine, just make sure to leave it out for 20-30 minutes first to ripen or it will be too hard to
Hehe it definitely takes all kinds 
scoop
Hi Gaby-Haha thank you darling!
Yes some people just play with others to get a reaction, I don’t know why. I like how you tell it like it is 
Hi Ling ling -You’re very welcome! I hope you like it
Hi Miss Amanda Jones-How did you like it?
Hehe me too 
Hi Miss Piggy -Hehe they have more in common than they think!
Hi Baker Street-Hehe indeed!! Thank you!
Hi Baby Sumo-If you like sweet and salty together then this might be for you
Hi Cakelaw-Thank you!
I hope you get a chance to make it! 
Hi Reem -I like your description!!
Thank you, it’s a vintage metal pail 
Hi The Duo Dishes-Yes well you just don’t see them much anymore
It is isn’t it! Love it 
Hi yojo-Oh yes you’re right indeedy!
Hi JohannaGGG-Oh that’s a relief!
Oh dear, what a proposition!!! 
Yes you could use your facon!! 
Hi ChopinandMysaucepan-Oh I see, we can’t persuade you?
Hi ChilliQueen-Thank you!!
Oh nice idea, I love it!! 
Hi Kavey-What a nice idea and adding Southern Comfort is a great idea!
Hi Ali-Cool!! Hey just trying it is good
Oh wow – what behaviour!
On a happier note, I love that tin you’ve used for the ice-cream, it’s so pretty and so perfectly suits that kind of nostalgia people feel for sunny summer days and luscious creamy ice-cream!
Was having dinner with friends from work tonight and bacon ice-cream sprung up from nowhere. I immediately cross referenced to your blog and found out there is a little ice cream shop here in Singapore in Haji Lane that will make any crazy flavour combo if ordered in advance. (Looks like bacon and maple pecan ice cream is on the menu!)
About Mr NQN’s dad – in a word ‘Gobsmacked.’ (You must find it a challenge to harness restraint and diplomacy – more credit to you Lorraine!)
I love salty, savory sweet combo’s and the mood board wouldn’t bother me. I had a father in law that was strange also. My sweet husband (bless his soul) never showed any of his father’s strange habits. He was a wonderful father and a great husband and I miss him every day, but his Dad was definitely more along the lines of Ali Baba than Ward Cleaver!
xxoo,
RMW
Mad, but can definitely see the appeal with some pain perdu.
very few combinations make me as happy as bacon and maple, so yes, i would definitely try this ice cream!
I don’t think I’d be shocked so much as stupefied! Then I’d want to laugh – surely someone laughed? I love bacon with sweet things and this ice cream seems perfect. GG
I couldn’t not read this post while we’re traveling through Europe! I can only imagine the gasps around the table with Ali Baba’s reveal! Oh my. Was he always this nutty? I suspect that the nuttiness might have come out as he got older, in which case you may have your work cut out for you with your lovely husband Mr. NQN. All is not lost though, with wonderful food like this bacon jam ice cream, I’m pretty sure you can move Mr. NQN away from becoming his father…hopefully!
yes please, yes please. I have been talking about bacon ice-cream for a week now, and have not mustered up enough energy to make any. I like the idea of adding pecans.
Oh, heck yeah! As an American, I’ve long loved the combo of bacon and maple syrup. It seems that Sydney is finally embracing this salty / sweet combo from heaven. And there’s NO better way to enjoy it than in ice cream. What a cool recipe!
I’m embarrassed to admit that I think bacon could go with any and everything. I think I would have tried to laugh…laughter is always good, right?
Ali Baba…really? ja,ja,ja. My father in law was so British, so his humor was very interesting and I’m sure I made a lot of thing that he could qualify as inappropriate.
Bacon in a sweet thing, ok, sometimes I ate it honey but just because it comes with the pancakes, I can’t imagine eating it with ice cream…it sound very interesting.
I love bacon and have enjoyed your bacon pate amongst many other delicious, unique offerings. This sounds delicious and slightly salty which is great, like salted caramels, only enhancing the components. I sympathise with your situation also having a very embarassing father-in-law – having decided long ago, less is best. I would have pulled him up for it, in a loud voice declaring ‘ wow look what Ali Baba has – a crude decollage – let’s pass it around the table and see what everyone thinks of it, especially the children’ to try to humble him. Yes, the father does not always maketh the son x
Ha! It happen to me one or two time with my FIL and i was laughing from embarrassment!
Now I am bit skeptical about this combo…I saw it before and I do like my bacon savory rather than mixing it with something sweet, but it does look very tempting!
How weird, I made bacon ice-cream yesterday too!! Didn’t use maple/pecans though, just brown sugar, but i’m tempted to try your version when this batch is gone – would be so ideal with pancakes!
Wow this recipe looks fantastic! I recently baked bacon and banana cookies from Heston at Home which were delicious. Thankfully it is now getting warmer here in Brisbane so now I have an excuse to try this Bacon Ice Cream recipe
Hi Sarah-Indeed!
Thank you! It’s one of my favourite finds from my travels 
Hi Kris-Hehe what a great idea! Wow, any flavour? That’s a dream come true!
Haha yes that’s a good way to describe how I felt 
I do find it hard, I’m
often checking for Punked cameras!
Hi RMW-Oh how wonderful! I’m glad Mr NQN doesn’t really either
Aww I bet you miss him a lot! xxx
Hi Tori-Mmm now you’re talking!
Hi grace-Hehe cool! It makes me happy too
Hi Glamorous Glutton-Hehe sadly we were all shocked and didn’t laugh. I think we were all a bit stunned!
Hi Eva-Hehe how are your European travels going Eva? I have been told he was always like that
Don’t worry me! 
Hi lizzie-Oh you definitely deserve some then! I loved the pecans I must admit
Hi SarahKate-It’s awesome isn’t it and so at home in America!
Thank you!
Hi Victoria-Laughter is always good most definitely, you’re right!!
Hi Nydia-Hehe I bet it was quite different! But inappropriate too huh?
Oh cool, I wonder what you would think of it? 
Hi Merryn-Thank you so much Merryn!
Absolutely, it reminds me of salted caramels 
Yes I wish I had prepared myself for my reaction, as it was my jaw
just hung open and I was shocked
Yes thankfully that’s true! 
x
Hi Sandra-Oh no really!?
Yes it is very embrassing. Hehe well perhaps if you like salted caramels, you might like this? 
Hi Hannah-Haha how funny is that?
I’m going to look up your version now! 
Hi Robbie-Thank you so much! Ooh bacon and banana cookies? They sound great!
I know, thank goodness for the warmer weather! 
The ice cream sounds wonderful, and in any type of weather!
From what I have heard about Mr. NQN, I would never have imagined that his father is, um, bizarre. What a weird thing. I am glad that Mr. NQN is serious and grounded. I love salted butter caramel ice cream, the saltier the better, but I haven’t really tried very many sweet foods with bacon in it (I’m so anti-trend) but the way you describe it is so intriguing that, yes, I would, thank you very much. It looks out of this world!
I think I will love this ice cream! Not the behavior though
This ice cream rocks totally. As far as father-in-law, he’s good for stories and needs to stay traveling.
I don’t even eat bacon, yet this has caused some serious salivating. No thanks to you
Hi jenbeans-Thank you! I agree
Hi Jamie-Mr NQN is quite the opposite of him in the bizarrity stakes
Hehe I like the way you are anti trend! 
Thank you!
Hi Tandy-Hehe I’m with you all the way
Hi angela-Thanks Angela!
Hehe you are SO right!
Hi Kiran-Hehe oh cool! Thank you!
LOL!!!!! I would be shocked and then embarassed, tugging hard on Stud’s shirt to save me from the moment lol.
I adore bacon with sweet things and this looks right up my alley Lorraine
Waw! You are so creative, Lorraine!Woehoe!
This is one very unusual, tasty & wonderfully looking special ice-cream!
MMMMMMMMMMM!
lovely to see something different..reminds me of bacon fried with a little sugar,very tasty
This looks like a great recipe – but the sugar listed in the ingredients. How much is needed?
Thanks James, have added it!
Hello, stumbled onto your blog earlier this week and just had to try your bacon ice-cream for a dinner party. It turned out like a salty caramel ice-cream with a bit of oomph to it. SO yummy and my guests were suitably impressed. One friend couldn’t believe it was non-churn because it was so creamy. This was my first attempt at making ice-cream and am really chuffed how it turned out. Thanks, NQN!
And here I thought I was the only one with inappropriate family members. I remember being at a family gathering once and someone saying ‘who’s the dirty old man’? I ever so slightly raised my hand and said “that’d be my dad”
NQN, I’m not a coffee person but keen to make this jam. I was thinking of using cocoa powder instead of the coffee, thoughts?
Hi Steve! Sure, unless you want to try chicory or something else? I’m guessing you mean the bacon jam and not the bacon ice cream?
One Trackback/Pingback
[...] decided to make some crepes and, inspired by NQN’s bacon maple ice cream, I decided to top it all off with a little Australian bacon and some genuine [...]
